Question

a)norming; storming

b)storming; norming

c)performing; forming

d)forming; storming

e)norming; performing

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "D": forming; storming.

Explanation:

The first stage in group development is forming. In this step, the group members expose their expectations on the group's work and share what their best skills are so the duties of the work can be properly distributed. While this step finishes, the storming stage starts when the members start to propose what exactly can be done towards achieving the task they have been assigned.  

The fact that Kira did not provide the team members enough time to get to know each other, will generate conflict in the storming stage because the team members will not know what role exactly to play to accomplish their collective assignment.
